OUT! Caught. Rangana Herath to Taijul Islam. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Gunathilaka. Taken in the deep, what a catch to finish off the match. Sri Lanka go wild, they win the series 1-0. That was an extraordinary phase of play, Bangladesh completely capitulated for the second time in the match.

Sri Lanka have stormed to a massive victory in the Second Test against Bangladesh to win the series 1-0. A second batting collapse in the match, inspired by an incredible spell from debutant Akila Dananjaya, saw the hosts lose their last six wickets for just 23 runs. It was never going to be easy chasing more than 300 on a wicket offering prodigious turn, but Bangladesh folded meekly in the face of quality spin bowling. Rangana Herath chipped in with four wickets, becoming the most successful left-arm bowler in the history of Test cricket. Roshen Silva deserves plenty of plaudits as well, he made a classy half century in each innings with conditions really tough for batting. Next up in this series is two T20Is, starting on Thursday at this same ground.

OUT! Caught. Akila Dananjaya to Mehedi Hasan. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Dickwella. Five for Akila, what a moment for the young man. It's another beauty from the debutant, making the batsman tentatively poke forward and taking the edge behind. Dickwella has been excellent with the gloves today, and he takes another super catch. Everything is going Sri Lanka's way.

The procession continues, this is an atrocious shot. Razzak clearly wasn't up for the fight today, he gifts his wicket away. It's an ugly swipe from him, dragging his foot out of the crease in the process, and Dickwella does the rest. Carnage in Dhaka, the home fans can barely believe it.

OUT! Stumped. Rangana Herath to Mushfiqur Rahim. Stock length ball, middle stump down the track pushing, missed to wicketkeeper, by Dickwella. What a beauty, this is Herath at his best. Mushfiqur has to depart, and with him go Bangladesh's hopes of getting anything from this match. Slow, loopy flight draws the batsman forward, before vicious dip and spin take the ball past the outside edge. Mushfiqur slightly overbalances and drags his back foot from the crease, and Dickwella whips the bails off in a flash.

Gobbled up at slip, Bangladesh sink further into the mire. Akila's fantastic debut continues, he gets Mahmudullah for the second time in the match as Sri Lanka run riot. The skipper was down the wicket trying to get to the pitch of this delivery, but it dipped to leave him in an awkward position. He can only push ungainly and snick through to Karunaratne.
